Bengaluru Couple's samosa startup makes annual turnover of Rs 45 crores; Know their journey here

A couple from Bengaluru, Nidhi Singh and Shikhar Veer Singh left their high-paying jobs to start their own food startup called “Samosa Singh” in 2015. The idea for the startup came from Shikhar's love for samosas and his desire to make it a popular snack in the city. The couple sold their house worth ₹80 lahks to fund the startup and increase the kitchen space. Today, their company has an annual turnover of ₹45 crores, and around ₹12 lahks per day, making them much more successful than their previous jobs.

Shikhar, a former principal scientist at Biocon, and Nidhi, a former employee of a pharma company in Gurugram with a salary package of ₹30 lahks, decided to take a risk and start their own business. They offer a wide range of samosas with innovative fillings like kadhai paneer samosas.

The idea for the business came to Shikhar during his student days, but Nidhi advised him to become a scientist. Later, when Shikhar saw a boy crying for samosas at a food court, he knew he had to start a samosa business.


The success of Samosa Singh has allowed the couple to plan for expansion. Despite belonging to well-settled families, Nidhi and Shikhar were determined to run their own businesses and have now succeeded in doing so beyond their expectations.
